Update: I was unfortunately not aware of Shamus Young's severe criticism of Fallout 3 available here to link in the original piece and I regret that. It dovetails rather nicely with what I've written and it's much better executed than my piece. I strongly recommend anyone...

Before actually buying Scarface I asked a few people what they thought after they played the game. I also checked up on a few reviews on a couple of gaming sites. I was shocked to find that when I went to buy this game, it was all sold out, but eventually, I found a copy a week later.

Things I liked; Its Tony Montana, great soundtrack, excellent sounds (even if it isn't Al Pacino), great weapons, lots of things to do, shark eats you if you swim too long, great features (purchasing exotics), you will get your moneys worth.

Things I didn't like; You can only sell drugs (It'd be great if you could sell extra weapons, cars, smuggle other items other than just coke.), some Felix missions are pointless (how many times do we have to defend a contact?), gangs still take out your fronts even though you wiped out all the gangs, drug deals go bad very easy (the meter things is hit or miss for me), can't import your own music, Femme Fatales are pointless, online component might be fun (my online gang is better than yours).
